Defined by waffles with extra whipped cream and mimosas, Parks and Rec fans far and wide ditch their dudes on Galentine's Day to gather with their gal pals. Galentine's Day, invented by the endlessly charming Leslie Knope ( Amy Poehler), is an honorary holiday similar to Valentine's Day with one major exception: it's a day all about the gals. Thanks to NBC's hysterical workplace comedy Parks and Recreation, we've been given the gift of Galentine's Day. * It definitely doesn’t hurt that it’s in a time bloc with the 2nd-best comedy on TV, “Community” at 8:00 EST on NBC.Get ready to celebrate, because it's that time of year again. If you’re not in love with Leslie Knope by the end of “Practice Date” (Season 2, episode 4), I will be shocked.Īnyone else want to help me sell new viewers on “Parks and Recreation?” If going in order doesn’t appeal to you and you’d rather start with the high points of season 2 to find out if the show is for you, watch the following episodes: Step 3: Watch “Parks and Recreation”, Seasons 2-4 (Season 4 is currently in progress) Skipping right to Season 2 is perfectly fine as well. “Rock Show” is my personal favorite entry point - it’s their first genuinely successful episode, it sums up everything important about the relationships between the characters, and it introduces a recurring joke, Pawnee rock anthem “The Pit.” But if you’re renting the DVDs it might sound a bit silly to rent all of Season 1 just for the single episode. If you are a P&R newbie or someone who bailed during that rough first season, I suggest starting with either the last episode of Season 1 (“Rock Show”) or the first episode of Season 2 (“Pawnee Zoo”).
The show hadn’t quite figured itself out yet and there were some pretty cringe-inducing episodes. Step 2: Forget Episodes 1-5 (this is a CRUCIAL step)Ī number of smart people with excellent taste gave up on “P&R” in the first season. Do you have Hulu Plus? You have access to every single “Parks and Recreation” episode! Brits/Canadians: You may need to rent the DVDs.

To help you figure out if it’s worth giving “Parks and Recreation” a try, here are some of my all-time favorite TV shows: “Buffy,” “Firefly,” “Community,” early “How I Met Your Mother,” “Chuck,” early “The Office,” “Arrested Development,” “Mad Men,” “Veronica Mars,” and “Freaks and Geeks.” Do you like most or all of those shows? Then you owe it to yourself to give “Parks and Recreation” a chance. What’s that, you say? You don’t watch “Parks and Recreation”? Well, I think you should! Yes, even if you watched some of Season 1 and didn’t like it. I love ultra-masculine Libertarian Scotch lover Ron Swanson, douchebag-with-a-heart-of-gold Tom, sarcastic April, dopey Andy, and everyone else in the fictional town of Pawnee, Indiana, right down to the crazies who show up at Leslie’s public forums. I love kindhearted finance geek Ben Wyatt. I love smart, ambitious, occasionally-selfish but fundamentally-generous Leslie Knope. I love this show so much that this is my second post about it. I love this show for far too many reasons to count.
